Our dry spell came to an abrupt end. We have had 5.5 inches of rain over the last 2 days and this morning we had a violent lightning storm. About 8:15 this morning lightning struck our tallest tree. We were having a quiet coffee and it felt and sounded like a bomb hit the house. It is still standing but is badly shattered and I will be surprised if it survives.
